Help Buy A Porta Cabin for School Security Guard

Diksha School has about 300 growing children from disadvantaged families and is located in an urban area.

There is an increasing need of security for the school children during the school hours. At present there is a security guard who sits at the gate. With the harsh summer heat and the monsoon rains, it becomes difficult for the guard to conduct his duties without the proper weather protection.

A porta cabin for the security guard would resolve this situation. The presence of the Security Guard cabin would also be a visual deterrent to miscreants around the school neighborhood. We are therefore starting this campaign with the help of Milaap.
